By situating present-day tensions in the Taiwan Strait within a longer historical trajectory, the study highlights continuities that link the post-war American occupation with Okinawa’s reversion to Japan in 1972 and the subsequent decades. Drawing on first-hand historical sources and extensive interviews with residents, it examines how the American presence reshaped everyday life and social values. The case of Henoko illustrates how communities developed strategies to coexist with the base while sustaining local identity, influenced both by the district’s rural and Communist heritage and by the base’s emergence as the region’s dominant economic actor after 1945. The analysis shows how these historical and social dynamics altered livelihoods, value systems, and perceptions of security. By treating Okinawa as a case study, the article contributes to wider debates on the entanglement of foreign military power, local society, and historical memory, and offers comparative insights for other communities negotiating the presence of overseas bases.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>В статье исследуется история базы ВМФ США на Окинаве и ее продолжительное влияние на местные сообщества. При этом особое внимание уделяется рассмотрению процесса формирования нарративов, связанных с американским военным присутствием на острове. Анализ современной напряженной ситуации в Тайваньском проливе помещается авторами в широкий исторический контекст, выявляющий преемственность между послевоенной американской оккупацией, возвращением Окинавы Японии в 1972 г. и событиями последующих десятилетий. Опираясь на первичные исторические источники и обширные интервью с жителями острова, авторы пытаются ответить на вопрос, как американское присутствие трансформировало повседневную жизнь и социальные ценности окинавцев. На примере района Хэноко показано, каким образом местные общины выработали стратегии сосуществования с базой ВМФ США при сохранении собственной идентичности, что было обусловлено как аграрным и коммунистическим прошлым района, так и превращением базы после 1945 г. в ведущего экономического актора региона. Как свидетельствует анализ источников, эти исторические и социальные процессы изменили образ жизни окинавцев, их систему ценностей и представления о безопасности. Рассматривая Окинаву как самостоятельный кейс, статья вносит вклад в более широкие дискуссии о взаимосвязи иностранного военного присутствия, местного общества и исторической памяти, а также предлагает сравнительные перспективы для других сообществ, сталкивающихся с аналогичной проблематикой.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>USA</kwd><kwd>Okinawa</kwd><kwd>military bases</kwd><kwd>occupation</kwd><kwd>local communities</kwd><kwd>daily life</kwd><kwd>historical memory</kwd><kwd>Japan</kwd><kwd>Henoko</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>США</kwd><kwd>Окинава</kwd><kwd>военно-морские базы</kwd><kwd>местное население</kwd><kwd>повседневная жизнь</kwd><kwd>историческая память</kwd><kwd>Япония</kwd><kwd>Хэноко</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Arasaki M.
